They got to the dungeons in seven and half minutes which made them two and a half minutes late.

"How delightful of you to grace us with your presence, Mr. Potter" said Snape sarcastically.

"I'm- sorry- Professor Snape," wheezed Harry.

"I don't care for your apologies, you are expected to be here on time just like everyone else, if can't respect the rules, Mr. Potter then you better get out of my class." said Snape pointing to the door.

"I understand the rules, I didn't mean to be late, sir." said Harry angry that Snape was suggesting he thought himself better than everyone else.

"Twenty points from Gryffindor, Mr. Potter. Now take a seat you've wasted enough time." said Snape annoyed turning around to the black board.

"Way to go, Potter." said Dean when Harry sat down next to him and Neville.

"Look, I don't know what your problem is but if you don't want me to curse the pants off of you, SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" the whole classroom was now staring at the table with the three boys.

"Mr. Potter that's enough! Detention, tonight at eight o'clock, don't even dare be a second late." said Snape leaning over the table looking extremely menacing.

"Yes, sir." replied Harry avoiding everyone's eyes.

After that class was pretty uneventful probably because Snape was so angry the students were barely moving, no one wanted to face the potions master's wrath.

Finally class was over and Harry made his way to the Great Hall with the other Gryffindor students. He sat down at the Gryffindor table between Ron and Hermione, a few minutes later Dean and Seamus took the seats in front of them.

"Hey Seamus, I asked my dad about coming back to the dorms and he said yes so, I'm probably going to sleep in Gryffindor tower tonight." said Harry trying to make conversation.

"Cool, you need any help?" asked Seamus. Harry shook his head.

"The house elves will move the stuff but my dad said I needed to tell my mum first, that's the difficult part." said Harry and he started eating.

"So, why weren't you in charms today?" asked Ron. Harry just shrugged.

"Harry, are you okay?" asked Seamus making Hermione lower the book she was reading and looking at Harry interested in his reply.

"Yes, I'm fine. Guys I'm sorry I lost those points and --," he was interrupted by Dean.

"It doesn't matter it's not like anyone cares... I mean it's YOU so, you could probably lose a thousand points and it'll still be okay." said Dean before getting his book bag and leaving the Great Hall.

"I'm going to go check on him, I'm sorry about that Harry." said Seamus leaving after Dean.

"I don't know what's wrong with him, I mean Dean is a nice guy but lately he's been really mean to Harry and he's been talking about him...," he trailed off after Harry and Hermione were staring at him with very different expressions.

"He has been talking about me to you guys?" asked Harry angry.

"What has he been saying?" Ron was opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water.

"It's not important because he didn't mean those things." said Hermione making Harry look at her.

"Can't you see what's wrong with him?" she saw their clueless expressions and rolled her eyes.

"Okay. Harry shouldn't know because he wasn't here last year but you--." she pointed at Ron- "have no excuse." Ron was looking at her as if she had grown a second head.

"As usual Hermione, I have no idea what you're on about but I'm hungry so, can we talk about this later?" he said before digging into his food.

"No. Look Harry, Dean is not angry at you because of who you are but because who's after you." Harry was looking for more information because so far he was with Ron in the clueless department.

"Dean has had a huge crush on Seamus since first year but Seamus being a boy had no idea of course. But then last year we had this Yule Ball on Christmas and Dean finally got the courage and asked Seamus to go with him, so they went together and then after that they went on a couple of dates. Then summer came and I heard they stayed in touch and were planning on becoming a real couple this year but then a certain someone arrived the first day back and stole Seamus' attention."

She finished with a satisfied smile.

"Okay, you're telling me that Dean hates me because Seamus likes me?" asked Harry after letting the information sink in.

"He doesn't hate you, he's just jealous." said Hermione reasonably.

"But there is nothing I can do about that." said Harry banging his head against the table.

"No, you can't but now you know so, you don't have to take Dean's comments seriously." she said stopping him from hitting the table again.

"Yeah, that comforts me." said Harry sarcastically.

"Why don't we just get Dean and Seamus together?" asked Ron.

"Because they're not dogs you just put together and make them like each other, I mean Seamus is not interested in Dean." said Hermione.

"You know for a smart girl sometimes you miss some pretty obvious things." said Fred or George Weasley who had taken Seamus and Dean's empty seats making Hermione red with anger.

"Hermione, where is Seamus...? With Dean, he likes him. He doesn't even know Harry, he just has a crush on him, like pretty much everyone else in the entire school...Harry is the new thing everyone wants him." said Fred or George...Harry couldn't tell which one.

"So, you think is just a novelty thing?" asked Hermione.

"Well that and the hottness of Harry here" said the twins in unison.

"Wow, how much shallow can the people in this school get" said Hermione with a disgusted face.

"Come on, Hermione even you were staring at him the first time you saw him," said Fred. Harry knew that because Ron had yelled at him after he said that.

Hermione left in a huff with Ron right behind her.

"So, Harry are you going to Hogsmeade this weekend?"

"Er...I don't know." said Harry who was so red he thought the twins could probably feel the heat coming off of him.

"Hey Harry," Said someone from behind him. He looked up into the brown eyes of Roger Davies.

"Hi, Roger." said Harry wondering if his face was still red.

"Er...do you know each other?" he said looking between the twins and the Ravenclaw quidditch captain.

"Yes," said the twins with fake smiles.

"Harry, do you want to study with me tonight?" asked Roger sitting besides Harry.

"Sorry, I already have a study partner." said Harry looking across the room at Draco quickly.

"Malfoy?" asked Roger scowling.

"Yes, Draco and I have a deal." said Harry simply.

"You have a deal, what kind of a deal?" asked Roger and suddenly the twins were very interested too.

"We help each other with stuff." said Harry shrugging.

"What kind of stuff?" asked Roger very jealous.

"None of your business, Davies." said Draco who had walked from the Slytherin table, through the Ravenclaw and was now standing behind the Weasley twins.

"Was I talking to you, Ferret?" asked Roger standing up to be at eye level with Draco.

"You useless piece of-- "Draco!" Harry interrupted him and grabbed his arm to keep him from hexing Roger.

"Harry let him, I'd like to see what the death eater Jr. have learned during the summer." said Roger trying to get Harry to move out of the way.

"Roger, just...shut up!" said Harry jumping over the table and keeping Draco away.

Draco knowing that the thing that would annoy the hell out of Davies was to make him jealous so he grabbed Harry by the waist and held him close. He whispered something in Harry's ear making him blush.

Roger was so angry he aimed his wand at Draco but was interrupted by Professor McGonagall.

"Boys! what is going on here?" she asked looking directly at the Weasley twins.

"For once Professor we can honestly say we have nothing to do with this." said Fred ( Harry knew who Fred was because he was the one Ron had yelled at before, so Fred has slightly shorter fringe) gesturing at Harry, Draco and Roger.

"Yes, as unbelievable as it sounds" said George leaving after his brother.

"Well?" she asked the remaining boys.

"There's nothing going on, Professor." said Draco firmly.

She looked at both Harry and Roger for confirmation and at their nods she walked away.

"So, I'll see you after dinner, okay?" said Draco seductively kissing Harry briefly on the lips, then he turned around and walked away leaving a blushing Gryffindor and a very pissed off Ravenclaw.

Harry decided to have dinner with his parents because he needed to talk to his mum anyway.

He was almost at the portrait when he felt someone's arms around his waist, lifting him up.

"I thought we agreed to just being friends," said Harry thinking it was Draco.

"Excuse me?" Harry was startled by that voice.

"Hi, Sirius" he said turning red.

"Who did you think I was?" said Sirius with an amused expression.

"Uh...er...no one." said Harry before saying the password and going in, followed by his Godfather.

"Hey honey, how was your day?" said Lily who was putting some plates on the table.

"It was good mum," said Harry walking towards the table.

"How was charms?" she asked stopping what she was doing to look directly at him.

"Er...yeah I wasn't feeling too well... so, I decided to go to the hospital wing instead," he said lowering his gaze to his shoes.

"What did Madam Pomfrey say?" she asked crossing her arms and staring at him without blinking.

"Oh well...I was on my way there when I felt really sick so I stopped at a toilet on the second floor and when I got out the stairs moved so I had to take the long way and then I felt better so I thought I just go to potions," said Harry really fast, his mother's gaze was really creeping him out.

"You have no classes on the second floor and as far as I know you don't need to go through there to get to the hospital wing. Why would you be doing down there if you wanted to go to the hospital wing?" she asked with a you-have-got-to-do-better-than-that expression. "Well...this place is really big and I was sick so, I don't know I got a little lost." he said wanting this conversation to be over.

"That's three, Harry." said Lily walking towards Harry.

"Three what?" asked Harry backing away from his angry mother.

"Three lies Harry, why are you lying to me?" she asked standing right in front of him.

"I...well, maybe I wasn't sick but I wasn't feeling...well so I thought I skip Charms. I'll apologize to Professor Flitwick and get my homework from Hermione, okay?" he said side-stepping his mother.

"Harry, this isn't the first time you've cut class and it still doesn't explain the lying. What did you do during the period?" she asked blocking the way to his bedroom.

"I...I just walked around." said Harry shrugging.

"Harry that's enough with the lying, I want to know where you were, who you were with and what you were doing, right now!" she said loudly.

"It's none of your business." said Harry almost regretting it as soon as he said it.

"You are just completely out of control since we left Safe Haven you have become this... disappointment and you expect us to listen to you and treat you like an adult but you don't act like one," her face was red and her eyes were sparkling in anger.

"I'm a disappointment to you?" asked Harry in a small, soft voice.

"No, Harry. Not at all, that's not what your mother meant to say." said James who like Sirius had been to busy being a spectator to actually take part in the conversation, but it had gone too far.

"No, dad, I think that's exactly what she meant to say." said Harry ducking Sirius' arms and running away. Harry was running and collided with a group of Slytherins.

"Are you crying, Potter?" said Pansy Parkinson.

"Oooh what happened to you? Did mommy and daddy spank you for being naughty?" she said in a mocking voice.

"Shut up, Pansy!" that voice made Harry look past Pansy and he saw those two big dumb guys who never spoke mostly grunted and Blaise and...Draco, he needed him now.

Draco extended a hand to Harry to help him up; the Gryffindor accepted and got up.

"Oh right, you need Draco to lean on," she said sneering but stopped when Draco gave her a murderous look.

"We'll see you later Draco." said Blaise urging everyone to go on.

"What's wrong Harry, why are you crying?" asked Draco once the other Slytherins were out of sight.

"Draco, take me away, please?" Harry was looking at him with his beautiful eyes filled with tears, his cheeks were wet, his nose was red and his lower lip was trembling...Draco thought he had never looked more beautiful.

"Harry tell me what's going on?" said Draco leading him to their room (Room of Requirement).

"I just...I wanna go away, you know...? I've never been anywhere, let's just go...just for a little while, okay?" asked Harry desperately.

"Harry we can't leave the school, we'd get expelled," said Draco reasonably.

"Please Draco, please?" Harry was looking so pathetic and sad Draco felt his resolve slowly crumbling.

"Well... we can go to Hogsmeade for the night, but just for the night, alright?" said Draco looking serious.

"Thank you" said Harry kissing him.

Let me know what you thought, okay?
